"I like Trump because he financed his own [campaign]," Barr said. "That's the only way he could've gotten that nomination. Because nobody wants a president who isn't from Yale and Harvard and in the club."

She argued that Clinton "does the opposite of what she says", adding: "Where are the women's rights? She talks about women's rights, but I'm not sure that she acts in that interest."

Of Trump, she said: "To me, he's saying that the order of law matters. When a president can just pass laws all on his own, that is a little bit different than what America was supposed to be about.

"And Trump is saying people will have to be vetted, we'll have to have legal immigration. It's all a scam. I mean, illegal immigration. When people come here and they get a lot of benefits that our own veterans don't get. What's up with that?"

Since the interview, Barr has said that The Hollywood Reporter had "misinterpreted" her words, saying she would back a candidate in August.
